M i>B., HORPE FOREWORD These are our lives. The tale they tell is that of cram sessions, jam sessions, and examina- tion blues; of moments filled with madness, gladness, and mirth. Yet it is a story that tells no less of hopes held fast, of dreams possessed, of yearnings pursued. Above all, it is a chronicle of a quest, of a ceaseless search for height and depth and wideness. From such stuff has been forged life at the Oglethorpe we know and love. The editor and her staff join in a hope that this book faithfully por- trays the spirit of that life as it here is lived. finir-^-Miifii^i %, I ^U, TRUTH >MS . <: > BEAUTY GOODNESS p ..:;rSS. MM'X?ji^MEk L**/*-^ V .'..J- --..: ^'":-'^'^t:x^^VS^>^^ ^ -^-j^ ^\ /?-^ll*i'- In appreciation of his unobtrusive but sincere interest in the student, his ability as teacher and scholar, and his refreshing and lively personality, we, the staff of the 1959-1960 Yamacraw, dedicate this issue to . . . Br. Martin X. Abbott who introduced many of us to the "Johnny Rebs" of the Confederaq^ and the "Billy Yanks" of the Union in his Civil War and American History classes. Perhaps it is as a professor of history that he has made his greatest contribution to the students, for he has the rare inspiration that makes history a living and meaningful study. Students crowd his classes in spite of the high standard of his requirements and they will tell of their enjoy- ment of this participation in learning. Recognized, too, are Dr. Abbott's scholarly achievements. His reviews of books and articles published in the historical journals bring credit to him and to the University. As advisor to the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity in past years, and the Varsity Club and Yamacraw this year, Dr. Abbott has become a close and helpful associate in campus activities. But, above all, it is for the confidence he creates in his students that he becomes a respected teacher, friend, and advisor. FACULTY and ADMINISTRATION THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS . , , THE INDIVIDUAL IN SEARCH OF TRUTH, BEAUTY AND GOODNESS The theme of this year's Yamacraw, although by no means new, has a contemporary appro- priateness. For more than 2500 years scholars have studied and described this search for truth, beauty and goodness. In every generation these concepts are redefined, and in every significant life these ideas have been interpreted in experience and behavior. The Oglethorpe Plan in its purposes and structure is concerned with truth, beauty and goodness. Every graduate knows that these ideals are emphasized in specific courses and in the pattern of courses illustrated by the divisional organization. These ideas are implicit in many aspects of the University. In a society in which truth seems often distorted in the interests of expediency, in which there are public scandals as a result of deliberate falsehoods, in which dishonesty on some campuses is widespread, in which facts are distorted for political ends, the consideration of the idea of truth becomes more than mere academic discussion. The search for truth is more than a protest against the false; it is a positive quest for knowledge and wisdom. In a society in which creativity is often expressed in distorted art forms, in which unchecked growth of ugliness characterizes our cities, in which art is exploited by crude commercialisms, in which the fine arts are relegated to minor roles in the educational system, the idea of beauty giving rich significance to experience becomes a precious thing. In a society in which values of material success, of power and prestige, of immediate satis- factions, are over-emphasized; in which racial tensions are rampant; in which crime and delinquency have reached frightening proportions; in which international distrust has threatened the peace; there can be no greater need than an emphasis on ethical belief and action. Truth, beauty and goodness cannot be taught by simple formulas. They are ideals that should dominate the purposes of our behavior. At Oglethorpe, we hope that these ideals may find expression in each student and that the experience of being a student at Oglethorpe may develop a sincere respect and an energetic search for the truth regardless of the consequences, for appreciation and expression of beauty, and for ethical standards and a stable moral character. This is the respon- sibility of each person. DONALD C. AGNEW, President A.B. (Park College) M.A., Ph.D. (Duke University) GEORGE C. SEWARD, Dean B.A. (Amherst) Ph.D. (Tuebingen) LUCILLE Q.

Petrels Cop G.I.A.C. Championship The "Stormy Petrels" of Oglethorpe captured their second G.I.A.C. Championship by skipping through their conference schedule undefeated for the second straight season. The Petrels have won 34 consecutive conference games without defeat. The '59-'60 edition of the Petrels also won outstanding victories over top-notch teams from the University of Chattanooga, Newberry, and Pembroke State College. These fine victories, coupled with the G.I.A.C. Holiday Tournament Championship made the season one of the most successful in Oglethorpe history. Center Jay Dye and Guard Jay Rowland were the leading point producers for the Petrels. Dye combined aggressive rebound- ing with his overall leadership on the court to make him one of the most popular players ever to don a Petrel uniform. Rowland teamed with guard Tommy Norwood to form one of the most devastating guard combos in Georgia college circles. Forwards, Roger Couch and Buddy Goodwin, contributed valuable scoring, rebounding and defense that enabled the Petrels to win 21 games and lose only five. Subs Johnny Guthrie, Wayne Dobbs, Morris Mitchell, Bobby Nance and Sammy Hudgins, constantly pushed the "starters" for first string berths. Their contribution to the squad, although occasionally unnoticed, greatly added to the suc- cessful season that the Petrels enjoyed. Under the direction of Coach Garland Pinholster, one of the most promising young coaches in the country, the Petrels compiled a 49.6 defensive average that was tops in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Stingy defense and precision ball control have become trademarks of the basketball Petrels and, with only one Senior graduating, the outlook for the future looms as a most prolific one.

Not since the days of Luke Appling ha\e base hits, shut-outs, and doubleplays been anticipated on the O. U. diamond as they are this year. With a solid core of seasoned veterans, including the strong right arms of Harold Adair and Tommy Norwood, the Petrels are contenders for the Ci.l.A.C. baseball championship. Newcomers Bobby Dalglish, Johnn} Guthrie, and Tra\is Hames bolster a pitching staff that became increasingly sting\ in the '59 campaign. The infield appears to be anchored b\- slugging Jay Rowland at second base and Wa^ne Dobbs at third base. Freshman Morris Mitchell will handle the glo\e work around the initial sack, while Norwood, when he is not on the mound, clogs up the hole at shortstop. Ken Borden will assume the role of utility infielder. The outfield is likely to be made up of some of the members of the hurling corps who are not taking their regular turns. Long ball hitters Roger Couch, Bill Flammer, and Tom Winn add speed and defensive ability to the fly-chasers. Buddy Goodwin and Lee "Yogi" Barrett give the Petrels leadership and hustle behind the bat. It is at this position that graduation hit hardest but, with the presence of these two clever recei\ers, this gap should be filled adequately. With the addition of such formidable opponents as Auburn and the Citadel to the schedule the Petrels will launch an all out efifort to inscribe their names into the Oglethorpe athletic records by winning their first G.LA.C. diamond crown.
